Crossing Community Church

Paul instructs the church at Corinth about building on the foundation of Christ. There is no other foundation to build upon. That is determined. What we build on it is not.

This morning we look at James 2 to learn about the purpose of good works in a Christian's life. What we learn is that good works are never required for salvation. Instead they are an expected result of our salvation.

If the cure is not applied to the disease it does the afflicted person no good. Faith is the means by which God's cure is applied to the spiritual ailment of mankind --his sin.

It was with great pleasure that Crossing welcomed the Lord's Love Evangelical Church of Philadelphia to our service this Sunday. This Korean church plant began meeting at Crossing this week. We took time to pray for them and for the persecuted church of North Korea. After our time of prayer Scott Brubaker continued his series on the uniqueness of God's saving grace!

"The sins I can't forget are the sins God can't remember." So began a great message by Scott Brubaker on the freedom God's grace gives those who accept the free gift of Christ's death as their payment for sin. It's not by our works, but only by His grace!

A few months ago a man was caught between a subway car and the platform. After multiple attempts to pull him out only the unthinkable finally rescued the trapped man - the crowd of onlookers actually pushed the subway car far enough to free him. What a crazy idea -- but it worked. Using broken people like us to preach salvation to the world is an equally crazy idea. But God's power at work in...

Anxiety is a reality for everyone. What we do with our anxiety determines whether it is good for us or bad for us. Paul's letter to the Philippians has a prescription for anxiety written by the Great Physician.

Psalm 139 reveals the depth of God's knowledge about you and I. He knows every thought we have, every word we say, every thing we do. While that is truly amazing and hard to fathom, even more amazing is that after know all that about you and I, God still loves us!

Our guest speaker for the 2015 Winter Bible Conference was Jim Walton. Jim hosts the website, The3rdchoice.org where his goal is to offer legitimate dialogue about faith questions and spiritual matters. His third session addressed the question how God can be good when He appears to be immoral and murderous to many people today.

As we begin a new year it's always good to consider how we can make 2015 count for eternity more than we 2014 did. Today's sermon explores 3 points that can help us do that.

Jesus came to Earth, sent from His Father, with one goal -- to die for the sins of mankind. Our sermon explores the many passages that connect the coming of Christ with the death of Christ. He came to die!!

We had the very special opportunity to host a prayer meeting for Scott Brubaker's co-workers. The service included an update from Scott, readings from the Bible, the Gospel and closing thoughts from Pastor Tim. (NOTE: The prayer times were not recorded)

When God calls you into His work, how do you know it's going well? As humans we gauge success on how others respond to us. But in God's economy it's not that way. This week we explore what it means to be successful when we join God in what He's doing around us. This service also features an update from Scott Brubaker.

Following Jesus will cost something. Christ said so and history has demonstrated it true. So what compels someone to forgo the comforts, desires and attractions of this life to follow Jesus?

Watching loved ones suffer can leave us with uncertainties about what we understand about God. This week we learned that Scott Brubaker, one of our Elders, has to undergo brain surgery to remove a mass. We set aside our plans for the service and spent our time reflecting on how God might be using Scott's illness to deepen our faith.

There are many rewards of following Christ but in our sermon today we focus on three of them. In addition to these three we also look at what we shouldn't expect from our walk with Christ -- for all things to work out the way we think they should!

An ebenezer, a memorial of God's power and provision. Today we learn about how God provided our church campus. We were also encouraged to consider instances in our life when God had powerfully acted and raise an 'ebenezer' to memorialize that event.

This Sunday Greg Shipley teaches from Matthew 9 about compassion. what is it? Why don't we extend it to others? How Christ helps us extend the compassion He gives to us! This Sunday also features the testimony of Bob W about how the Experiencing God study has effected his life.

The relationships and people in your life are there for a reason. God is at work among them and anxious to work through you and I to impact their lives.

Self-centered living is always at war with a God-centered life. One of the benefits of living a god-centered life is that we choose to seek God's perspective in our circumstances. This makes all the difference in the world when it comes to going through difficult times and suffering!

Many of us get intimidated when we think God would have some huge task to entrust to us. But in reality, the most major work God wants to do is one IN us! Do we overlook that?

This week we begin a new sermon series based on Henry Blackaby's book, "Experiencing God." Our first sermon explores whether the question of God's will for my life is really the right question to be asking at all!
